Early Times Report
Reasi, May 14: In brazen violation of norms and putting the pilgrims visiting revered Mata Vaishnu Devi Shrine here to inconvenience, an allegedly fake taxi stand operates from the no parking zone at the main bus stand at Katra here.
Officials said the main bus stand at Katra has a designed no-parking zone where no vehicles can be parked.
The space has been left open to facilitate free movement of pilgrims, thousands of whom visit the revered town daily.
But in league with some officials in the district administration, a group of taxi operators use the space to run their fake taxi stand thereby disrupting free movement of pilgrims.
"These taxi operators pay regular hafta," the sources said.
But the taxi stand has been putting the pilgrims to inconvenience.
"This taxi stand has become a cause of traffic jams and other inconvenience for pilgrims," said some locals.
The locals said the government has given a free hand to some corrupt officials to resort to loot.
When contacted a senior official said the matter would be looked into. |
